What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization: making your business the answer AI gives. SEO was about being a result Google lists. AEO is about being a name ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google's AI actually recommends when a customer asks who to call. Different tools read different signals, and AEO is the work of getting those signals right.
Is this just SEO with a new name?
No. Fewer than half of the businesses leading traditional local search are also among the most AI-recommended. Ranking on Google does not mean ChatGPT recommends you. We work on what AI actually reads: consistent listings, review signals, the behind-the-scenes details on your site, and content AI tools can reach.
I rank well on Google already. Doesn't that cover me?
It helps, but it does not carry over. AI assistants build answers from their own mix of sources, and a strong Google ranking with thin listings, stale reviews, or an unreadable site still loses the answer. The free analysis shows you exactly where you stand, ranking or not.
Why is the analysis free?
Because it is the proof, not the product. We run the analysis on your business and walk you through the results on a 15-minute call. If it shows AI already recommends you, we say so and you keep the findings. We only quote the fixes when there is something worth fixing.
What does it cost if I want the fixes done?
Two numbers, both quoted in writing before any work starts. Setup is a one-time $1,500 to $2,000 for the heavy lift: your listings, your reviews system, your website optimized so AI can read it, and the details AI reads. The monthly plan is $400 to $600 to keep the number moving, re-tested every month. Month-to-month, cancel any time. For most of the businesses we work with, one booked job covers the entire setup fee.
Why can't I do this myself?
Parts of it you can: claim your listings, ask customers for reviews. The hard part is the rest. Re-running the full analysis across every major assistant and tracking it month over month is hours of careful work, and knowing which fix moves your score first takes months of that data to compare against. The analysis gives you the full fix list and you can keep it and do it yourself. Most owners decide their evenings are worth more.
What happens to my website?
We work with the site you have. The analysis checks whether AI tools can actually read it, and the fixes happen in place: the structure, the pages, and the behind-the-scenes details AI needs to read and trust you. We do not do full rebuilds. If the site itself is genuinely the blocker, we tell you plainly and show you exactly what to change. Nothing happens to your website before you have seen the plan.
How fast will I see results?
Honest answer: listings fixes tend to get re-read by AI within weeks, and visible movement in the answers usually takes one to three months, because reviews and fresh content compound slower. That is why the re-test is monthly. You see the trend either way, with every answer logged, including any month where your score has not moved yet.
Which AI tools do you test?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — the assistants your customers actually use. We test the questions your customers really ask, phrased the way they phrase them, and walk you through what each assistant says about you.
Can you guarantee AI will recommend me?
No, and you should walk away from anyone who says yes. AI tools decide their own answers and change without notice. What we commit to is the work that measurably moves your score, re-tested monthly with the evidence attached. If your score does not move, the report shows that too.
How do I know it's working?
One score, monthly: how often AI names you now versus when you started. You compare it to your starting point yourself. Freshness also compounds: AI assistants favour recently updated content, citing pages 25.7% fresher than what traditional search ranks, which is why the monthly plan exists.
